In 1996, German graphic designer Markus Storz came upon an article describing a way to consume cannabis without smoking by vaporizing the buds. Intrigued by the concept, Storz built a prototype using a heat gun. Dissatisfied with the resulting carbon particulates emitted by his initial vaporizer, Markus refined his design, creating the iconic Volcano in 2000. Later in 2002, he partnered with friend Jürgen Bickeland formed Storz & Bickel GmbH & Co. KG, transforming the way we get high.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the first set of Volcano vaporizers, Storz & Bickel released a limited edition 24 karat gold-plated vaporizer. With just 100 in existence, each of the elite Volcanos is engraved, numbered, and signed. Other pieces of the devices, like the filling chamber inserts and screens, are also gold-plated. The luxurious finish gets complimented by a black base and controls and looks supremely luxe.
